Do you have what it takes to tackle the rare but really tough workplace experiences that tend to happen all at once? Take this quiz to find out.
Walk in and interrupt the meeting with an apology and an excuse. You need to make sure they know you’re sorry!
Quickly apologize for being late and sit down. After the meeting, approach your boss and colleagues and explain your situation. You don’t want your coworkers bad-mouthing you behind your back!
Quietly sit down and act calm. After the meeting, you approach your boss and explain your situation. You tell her that you are very sorry and that it won’t happen again.
After quietly sitting down, you need to catch up. Ask what is going on and jump in the conversation.
Rate this question:
You get worked up and yell right back at them! You aren’t going to let them talk to you that way!
Tell them if they continue to speak to you in that manner you will have to hang up.
When you get a chance to speak, calmly tell them you are very sorry and that you understand. Listen to them until they calm down. Politely tell them the reason you can’t solve their issue.
Tell them that there is nothing you can do and ask them if they would like to speak to your manager.
Rate this question:
You should be there for your friends. You would expect the same treatment if the situation were reversed.
Let your friends know that you can be friends when you are off the clock, but during company time you have no friends.
Talk to your friends. Let them know that you are committed both to your friendship and part of that commitment includes helping them keep job commitments and responsibilities so they too can be promoted, or at least not fired when you are transferred.
Fire them. This will serve as a good example that you should be respected and feared. Besides, they have served their purpose, and its time for you to make new friends anyway.
